“It makes me sick, the way sadness is addicting.
The way I can’t stop. Sadness is familiar.
It’s comfortable and it’s easy in a sense that it comes naturally to me.
But everything else about it is hard.
The way my body aches with self-hatred.
The way my mind spins and spins with hopeless thoughts.
The way it poisons everything I do, every relationship I have.
Yet it’s addicting, because I know sadness, and I know it very well.
And there’s a sort of comfort in that, like being home after a trip or sleeping in your own bed after being away.
There’s just a sense that this is where I belong.
This is how it’s supposed to be.”

“So don't be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do.
You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall.
Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don't know what work they are accomplishing within you?”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
